I Forgot!!

I almost forgot to say Mercedes went for her shots yesterday... She weighs 100 lbs... I guess thats how big she's gonna get... Small for a dane.... but I guess some ppl would think thats big... The vet said she's in great condition except some plaque on her teeth... I brush them 2... The vet said to try some type of bone any suggestions??

She weighs more than my 3 put together!

I'm glad her shots went fine and she's in great condition. You can get dental bones designed especially for helping prevent plaque - I don't know any particular brands but you should be able to get them at most pet stores.

you can get DentaBones,and those chewing bones like ComedyDevil suggested,but i heard the Dentabones are good for getting rid of plaque!

i'm glad she got a clean bill of health. as for the teeth cleaning. i would suggest getting greenies. they are made for cleaning teeth and dogs think they tase great. they aren't all that cheap though.

yeah I saw those green things they are expensive, but I guess it's worht it.. I will get some tomorrow!

Not everyone's comfortable with this but raw bones are both cheap and natural tooth brushes! We get raw beef bones for free from our butcher. I've brushed Kai's teeth once or twice in his entire life but he has amazing teeth cause of the bones.

My 3 put together is about 93-95 pounds, So I guess same with us!!

Glad everything is fine! My pups always have milkbones, and dentabones/dentastix

Goodie for Mercedes!!! Glad things went well for you! Hope those shots didn't create too many ouchies!! But I bet a big girl like you handled it like a champ! And don't you worry about being "small"...we think you're just perfect!

RB Max chewed on Bleached White Cow Bones. He loved them & his teeth were in great shape for a 9 1/2 year old dog, thats what his vet said anyway.

I give mine DentaBones, they LOVE them, and I think they work well!!
But they make a mess in the house. So they only get them out in the yard!!

Raw carrots,, raw veggies are good for plaque and good for them too..... apples are nice too...
